Regions

Long Range Mountains, Corner Brook, Gros Morne, Northern Peninsula.

Avoid wind loaded slopes, especially during times of intense loading.

There is a lot of recent snow available for transport.

Confidence

Low

  • We are uncertain due to a limited number of field observations.

Avalanche Summary

No new avalanches have been reported, but information is limited.

Consider posting a report if you're out travelling on snow.

Snowpack Summary

Around 25 to 40 cm of soft snow from this week blankets the snow surface. This new snow is soft and readily available for wind to transport into lee features when wind speeds pick up.

Below the soft snow, the mid and lower snowpack consists of several, thick crusts that are not currently a concern.

Snowpack depth is estimated to be 100 to 150 cm.

Weather Summary

Friday Night
Mostly cloudy. 5 to 15 cm of snow. 40 to 60 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -10 °C.

Saturday
Mostly cloudy. 5 to 10 cm of snow. 40 to 60 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -14 °C.

Sunday
Mix of sun and clouds. 5 cm of snow. 60 km/h west ridgetop wind. Treeline temperature -18 °C.

Monday
Mix of sun and clouds. 2 cm of snow. 30 to 60 km/h northwest ridgetop wind, easing through the day. Treeline temperature -18 °C.

Terrain and Travel Advice

  • Pay attention to the wind; once it starts to blow, sensitive wind slabs are likely to form.
  • Watch for newly formed and reactive wind slabs as you transition into wind-affected terrain.
  • Seek out sheltered terrain where new snow hasn't been affected by wind.

Problems

Wind Slabs

Wind Slab avalanches are the release of a cohesive layer of snow (a slab) formed by the wind. Wind typically transports snow from the upwind sides of terrain features and deposits snow on the downwind side. Wind slabs are often smooth and rounded and sometimes sound hollow, and can range from soft to hard. Wind slabs that form over a persistent weak layer (surface hoar, depth hoar, or near-surface facets) may be termed Persistent Slabs or may develop into Persistent Slabs.
